Object:
The organisation's purpose is to advance the public participation in the sport of basketball for school aged children from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds, such as Govan and surrounding areas. In furtherance of this, the organisation will carry out the following activities: (a) offer primary and secondary school pupils the opportunity to engage with the sport of basketball. Through this, pupils can facilitate the development of physical, psychological, academic, and civic responsibility skills which, in turn, supports their socioeconomic mobility, e.g. through creation of university student-athlete pathways; (b) develop an 'ultra-endurance' sustainable basketball for disadvantaged communities in local communities, e.g. Govan, as well as in developing countries, e.g. Ghana; and (c) coach and mentor pupils outside of a basketball setting, e.g. through CV reviewing services when they apply for university.

What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Rising Stars is a volunteer-led outreach charity that aims to improve the lives of young people aged 10–18 from underserved areas of Glasgow, using basketball as a tool for social change. In partnership with Glasgow University Sport, GUSA, and many of our partner educational institutions, we deliver weekly after-school coaching and offer wider opportunities as participants progress—such as free academic tuition, mentorship, university visits, coaching qualifications, and competitive play. Our mission is rooted in our “Pay-It-Forward” philosophy: rather than monetary return, we ask that those supported go on to support others, creating a lasting cycle of community empowerment. With the backing of partner organisations and grant funding, we’ve achieved tangible social outcomes and continue to grow our impact locally and nationally.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.

If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.
Copyright

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
